Hearing Niannian say that she remembered the way back, Chu Dacheng finally felt relieved.
There was no mess left to clean up in the villa. As for the young man's body, he would call in professionals to handle it. Fortunately, after years in the underworld, he still had a couple of reliable contacts. Otherwise, if the young man's death was discovered here, he would be hard - pressed to explain himself.
Chu Dacheng took Xiaotuanzi (Niannian) into his car. After buckling the child up safely, he slowly drove away.
There were still some snacks in the car, which Chu Dacheng usually ate to kill time. With the grandpa's permission, Niannian happily opened a packet of chips and started munching. Her little legs dangled in the passenger seat, swinging back and forth, showing her good mood.
"By the way, Grandpa, take these talismans. They are all communication talismans. If you have something to do next time, you can still call me." After finishing a packet of chips, Niannian suddenly remembered that the communication talisman she gave to the grandpa during the day had been used up. She quickly made up three more.
This time, Chu Dacheng didn't decline, nor did he casually put them away as if they were just toys like he did during the day. Instead, he planned to keep them close to his body after sending Xiaotuanzi home.
Chu Dacheng didn't drive fast. Keeping a steady speed of 60 miles per hour, it took him nearly half an hour to send Xiaotuanzi to the community. By now, Chu Dacheng loathed Yu Shanhe to the extreme. Letting a little child run all the way to such a remote suburban area alone. This parent was not just being careless; it could even be considered child abuse!
Watching the little baby unbuckle the seat - belt and trying to climb out of the car on her own, Chu Dacheng felt that he should do something for the little girl to repay his debt of gratitude for saving his life.
"Baby, next time I have a job, Grandpa will take you with me and give you a share of the money. Do you want to go?"
"Money?" Niannian didn't listen to the rest of the words; she only caught this key word.
Seeing the confused look on Xiaotuanzi's face, Chu Dacheng thought that the little baby didn't understand the meaning of money and quickly explained, "With money, you can buy your own food and never go hungry again. When you grow up, you can even move out on your own." Achieve financial freedom and break away from the original family. Chu Dacheng didn't say the second half of the sentence. A five - and - a - half - year - old baby probably didn't even know what the original family meant. She would understand when she grew up.
From now on, taking the baby with him, with her skills, she would surely accumulate a lot of wealth. By the time she became sensible, the child would have the means to leave such irresponsible parents.
Hearing that she could earn money to buy delicious food, Niannian didn't even hesitate for a second. She automatically ignored the second half of the grandpa's words that she didn't understand and nodded hurriedly, "Okay! I want to earn money! I want to buy food!"
"Alright. When I have a job, I'll call you with the communication talisman. But you can't run around randomly. Tell Grandpa your address, and Grandpa will come and pick you up." Chu Dacheng nodded with a beaming smile and then didn't forget to remind her.
Niannian obediently agreed. Then the two went their separate ways.
Niannian climbed out of the window, so naturally, she climbed back in the same way. Her small and flexible body was like a cat's. She climbed up the building without making a single sound. She climbed into bed and fell asleep again. She didn't have any more dreams for the rest of the night.
That night, no one in the Yu family noticed that Niannian had gone out to catch ghosts in the middle of the night.
The next day, Xiaotuanzi got up late. Yu Shanhe just thought it was because Niannian had run so far alone the day before and was physically exhausted. She slept until late in the morning.
Niannian quickly got up to do her daily morning practice and then opened the door and walked downstairs.
Today's breakfast was bought by Yu Shanhe. There were steamed buns, soy milk, fried dough sticks, and milk sandwiches. He had everything, just in case the little baby didn't like something or couldn't eat enough.
Zhao Tang and Yusheng had already gone out. Only the old father had been hungry, waiting for Niannian to wake up so that he could have breakfast with her.
Watching the little baby eating the breakfast he bought with a happy and satisfied look on her face, Yu Shanhe suddenly felt that his life was complete.
"Do you want to go to the company with Dad today?" After yesterday's lesson, Yu Shanhe didn't dare to leave the child at home alone. He could clearly see that his second son didn't like his daughter. He had talked to him and scolded him, but he still couldn't change his second son's mind. So there was no way he could count on his second son to take care of the child. He had to do it himself. That was why he hadn't gone to the company until now.
"Okay!" Niannian didn't understand her father's worry. She thought she was going to her father's company to solve problems today. She hadn't forgotten that a ghost had tried to hurt her father the day before yesterday. If there were any problems in the company, she might as well solve them all at once and relieve her father's worries.
Seeing his daughter being so obedient, Yu Shanhe couldn't help showing a kind - father smile.
After Xiaotuanzi finally finished her breakfast, he called the driver to drive them to the company.
The Yu family's enterprise was quite large. A whole office building belonged to the Yu family's company.
When Yu Shanhe carried Niannian and appeared at the first - floor reception desk, many people noticed that their boss had brought a little baby to work today.
The receptionist summoned up her courage and secretly took a front - view photo of Niannian. She immediately sent it to the work group without the boss.
[Aww! Did you see that? The boss brought such a cute girl to the company! Oh my god, I'm going to be melted by her cuteness!]
[Whose child is this? She's so cute.]
[Take a closer look. She looks a bit like the boss. She should be the boss's daughter.]
[Hey? Doesn't the boss only have one daughter? And she's supposed to be an adopted daughter, right?]
[As an old employee who has worked here for six years, I can responsibly say that the boss actually has a biological daughter. But she was lost right after she was born. The boss was so eager to find his daughter that he didn't manage the company for a while.]
[So this is the boss's biological daughter that he found back?]
[I'm not sure. But since she can be carried here by the boss, she must have some status. Just don't provoke her.]
Yu Shanhe had no idea that his daughter had already sparked a heated discussion in the company with her looks and mysterious identity.
He carried Xiaotuanzi to his office, asked his assistant to go out and buy a lot of pastries and snacks, and then let Niannian play on her own. But the scope of this "play" was only limited to the office.
Niannian didn't mind being restricted. She walked around the office, looking here and touching there, not missing any detail. She could clearly feel the surging of yin energy in the office. The ghost that attacked her father the other day must be related to the yin energy in the office. But she couldn't find the source of the yin energy.
Huh? How could this be? Niannian was absolutely confident in her own insight. She would never feel it wrong.
Niannian pouted unhappily. This was the first time she had failed to immediately detect the source of the problem.
Alas, she must have slacked off on her practice these days. She even had to spend a lot of effort to detect such a trivial thing. She must work harder in the future!
While secretly making up her mind to work harder when she got back, Xiaotuanzi shifted her gaze to her old father. But when she saw Yu Shanhe working seriously, Niannian's little expression froze instantly.
Oh no no no! Daddy! Daddy! He's going to die! He's going to die! He's going to die!
